Finding Great Nighttime Music & Entertainment

If you’re planning a big night out, you’ll want to find some of the best options available.

Thankfully, finding great nighttime entertainment should be fairly easy for you.

Read Lots Of Reviews

If your goal is to find the best options for entertainment in your area, then you should be reading reviews. Reviews are packed full of information, and they can be an extremely helpful resource.

When you read reviews, you can see how satisfied the average person is with the entertainment that a venue offers. You can see how crowded the venue usually is, and you can find out the best times to show up. You’ll get a lot of information that you can use. You can often find reviews on Facebook, Twitter and other Social Media channels used by Nightclubs and DJ’s to promote venues

Look At Pictures

Sometimes, it’s hard to form an image of an entertainment venue based on words alone. Luckily, you should be able to find pictures of anything that you want to see. You may even be able to find video of the venue!

If you’re trying to determine whether or not a venue has the kind of vibe you are looking for, you should start looking at some pictures. Don’t just look at the professional pictures on the website; check out pictures taken by visitors as well. You can find plenty of images on sites like Yelp and Instagram.

Find Entertainment You Can Afford

Most people have to think about the cost of their entertainment when they are planning a night out. The average person doesn’t just want great entertainment; they want entertainment options that aren’t going to break their budget.

Because of this, you should try to find entertainment that isn’t overly expensive. If you’re going out to a restaurant, look at their menu and see how much they charge for meals and drinks. If you are going out to a nightclub with live music or a top DJ service, see what the entry fee is and check if the music genre is to your liking. Find out what you’ll be paying so that you won’t be hit with any surprises.

Going out on the town can be a wonderful way to recover from the stresses associated with day-to-day life. With that said, you’ll probably have a better time if you seek out the right kind of nighttime entertainment options. Follow these tips and look for what you want!

Finding Lighting And Staging Effects For Your Band

If you are going to be putting on live music performances, you are going to want to make sure that you give your audience a great show. You’ll want to make them feel like coming out to see your band play was a great idea.

How can you ensure that every person in your audience has a great time? To start, you can put some extra effort into lighting and staging effects! The right kind of lighting can take any show to the next level.

Here are a few tips that will help you with lighting and staging:

Have Your Own Tech Guy

Since you’re probably going to be focused on the songs that your band is playing, you should look for someone else that can handle your tech issues for you.

You shouldn’t have to worry about lighting while you are up there on stage. You should know that your band is in excellent hands.

Buy Equipment That Is Portable

Most bands don’t play their shows at the same venues all the time. If you are buying lighting tools or props that you will use for staging your show, you will want to make sure you can take them from one place to another.

Make sure that any equipment that you invest in is completely portable. You should always be able to use your equipment when you have a show coming up. Before you purchase something, think about how easy — or difficult — it will be for you to transport it.

Find Effects That Match Your Vibe

If you’re playing a soft ballad, you aren’t going to want your effects to be over the top. The effects that you use should enhance your music, not detract from it. Make sure that you invest in things that will help you create the right kind of effects for your act. If you’re not sure what would work for shows like yours, you should check out live performances from bands that are similar to you. Look at the acts that you are inspired by. What kind of effects do they usually have at their shows? Try to duplicate that.

If you have been struggling to find lighting and staging effects for your band, you don’t have to panic.

There are plenty of options out there, and it should be easy enough for you to find equipment that can provide the things you need.

My Impression Of Rap Music Through The Ages

Many people think that “Rapper’s Delight” by The Sugarhill Gang is a classic when it comes to rap music. While it is probably one of the earliest tunes people are aware of in this genre, I have to say that I am not very impressed by it at all. The lyrics seem pretty random and juvenile, and there is no real melody to speak of.

As time moved along, the 1980’s brought along performers like Run-DMC, The Fat Boys, LL Cool J and The Beastie Boys. These artists certainly made their mark in the rap game, but I cannot say that I was very impressed when I listened to any of these artists as well. For instance, the first time I heard “Walk This Way” and “I Need Love” I turned the radio station off, immediately.

In the 1990’s my best friend started to listen to lots of rap music. She was in love with groups like Wu-Tang Clan and Ill Al Skratch. There were a few tracks that I thought were okay, but I definitely preferred listening to music that was rhythmic and more on the slow side.

I started working at an insurance company at the end of 2005 and we were allowed to listen to Internet radio while we completed our tasks. This is the first time that I heard “Some Cut” by Trillville and I fell in love. Sure, this is probably not the top song for many people, but something about it had me hooked. That was when I started listening to rap more often.

Over the years, I have developed a serious love for Jay-Z, T.I. and Kanye West. I can sit there and listen to them all day and be perfectly satisfied. In contrast to how I felt in the 1990s, I really do not like listening to slower music very much anymore. There are a few newer artists I like, including Fetty Wap and Desiigner, but I have to say that most of the passion I have is with tracks released in the early part of the 2000s.

It is funny how someone’s entire perspective on a genre can change after hearing one song. Who knew that Trillville was the key to opening my eyes to the rap game.

It goes to show that the evolution of music can have a large impact on all of us.
